Industry Blueprint for Retail Banking
Examine the Salesforce view of strategy, product innovation, and partner relationships to enable front-end and back-end business processes in retail banking.
The retail banking blueprint is a type of reference architecture that describes the end-to-end customer lifecycle. Use the industry blueprint to understand how Salesforce Customer 360 platform capabilities help structure, organize, and support digital transformation.
• Map customer-facing business capabilities that are common to retail banking to the stages of the customer lifecycle across marketing, sales, customer onboarding, origination, and fulfillment, through to servicing and the post-sales experience.
• Determine which capabilities are most important to your organization and prioritize implementation accordingly.
• Organize projects that deliver business value with maximum benefit.
• Understand the high-level platform capabilities and the Salesforce partners needed to power your organization’s business needs.
Contact your Salesforce account team or a Salesforce partner for help with assessing the business and platform capabilities most suited for your organization.
The typical lifecycle of a retail banking customer relationship has eight phases, from pre-sales marketing to relationship renewal.
Marketing and sales process management capabilities help retail banks acquire new relationships and deepen existing ones.
• Market: Retail banks require marketing capabilities to drive acquisition, customer support, and marketing operations strategies.
• Lead: Banks identify, segment, and nurture leads.
• Prospect: After a lead shows interest or a referral agrees to be contacted, sales activities focus on understanding the customer’s needs and identifying products and services to recommend.
Onboarding, origination, and fulfillment capabilities include traditional compliance capabilities, building an understanding of the customer, and connecting customers with products and services.
• Customer: Banks develop a deeper understanding of customer preferences. Compliance checks performed at this time are critical.
• Deposits and Lending: Origination, underwriting, documentation, and booking and funding processes are completed.
• Services: Banks set up services associated with a newly booked account, enable customers for those services, and execute documents.
Customer support plus renew and grow capabilities address customer needs as they evolve.
• Customer Support: Service levels vary depending on customer needs. Support includes basic transaction inquiries to researching more complex service needs, which can include complaint resolution.

• Renew and Grow: Banks deepen connections with customers and grow relationships by advising on changing service needs.
Salesforce partners with independent software vendors (ISVs) and consultants to extend platform capabilities to suit business processes. Industry-specific integrations and complete solutions are also available from retail banking fintechs. To learn more about ready-to-install applications, solutions, or consultants, check out AppExchange.
Note: To understand how industry and business requirements link to the technologies that support them, review the Retail Banking Reference Architecture. Use the industry blueprint as a framework to create a reference architecture for planning customer experience enhancements.
Standard Salesforce platform capabilities include platform enablers and API and data sources for all stages of the retail banking customer lifecycle. These foundation capabilities support custom-built solutions.
Note: To understand which business capabilities, solutions, and Salesforce products can help your organization achieve the business needs identified on the blueprint, review retail banking business scenarios.

Reference Architecture for Retail BankingCustomer 360 Guide for Retail Banking
Conceptualize business success in each of three categories of capabilities: Foundational, Platform, and Functional.
Our reference architecture presents Platform and Functional capabilities. Each layer contains a representative subset of systems or capabilities that are most relevant for Retail Banking industry. It doesn’t list all possible systems or capabilities.
Platform Capabilities These components form the underlying technology base for achieving your goals. Each layer in the platform builds on top of the next. B2B and B2C systems typically rely on these elements.
Data Sources Data sources are systems that create, collect, and manage various types of data. These systems can act as systems of record. They’re often purpose-built to handle particular functionality and data requirements. Some address general system needs.
Integrations Integrations include tools and routes that connect systems of record with each other or with higher-level experiences. Integrations are varied tools, such as APIs that connect separate systems, single sign-on services to manage customer identity across different systems, and customer data platforms to segment customers.
Analytics and Intelligence Analytics helps you better understand your data and make smart business decisions. Smart automation like machine learning and AI helps you optimize your use of customer data. The intelligence layer serves functions like delivering actionable customer insights, personalized product recommendations, and improving real-time customer interactions to enhance your customer relationships and drive sales.
Platform Enablers Platform Enablers are a set of capabilities that enable your business to track customers as they interact with your bank based on their point in the customer journey. The capabilities represent the day zero to lifetime engagement with a customer and support internal employees as they onboard these customers.

Reference Architecture for Retail BankingCustomer 360 Guide for Retail Banking
Functional Capabilities Business-specific elements at the functional capabilities level are connected more directly to the customer’s experience and measured in terms of maturity. Successful implementation of functional capabilities depends heavily on implementation of the platform capabilities.
The retail bank’s lifecycle typically crosses multiple engagement channels in the areas of Marketing, Sales, Onboarding, Servicing, and Growing. Digital engagements and self-serve channels are necessary for the companies to address new business needs related to the Covid-19 pandemic.
To identify strategic goals around which to focus your implementation, review these frequently required functional capabilities.
A Business Capability Maturity Assessment arranged by your Success Manager or Account Executive can help you determine which areas of your business can benefit from more focus.
Mapping Platform Capabilities to Salesforce
Specific Salesforce products handle each of the needs identified at the platform capability level.
Identify gaps in your underlying capabilities by customizing this model to include other Salesforce products or third-party systems in your current technology stack. To explore the reference architecture specific to your business, contact your success manager or account team.
Tip: Business Scenarios on page 12 help you better understand your business capabilities and find solutions that support your business goals.

Solution Architecture for Retail BankingCustomer 360 Guide for Retail Banking
The Salesforce Retail Banking architecture runs on two highly scalable and interoperable platforms: the core Salesforce Platform and Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
Products built on the Salesforce Platform (1) include Financial Service Cloud, Vlocity, Tableau CRM, and Experience Cloud. These products all operate on the same logical platform and share a flexible, common, and interoperable financial service data model.
• Financial Service Cloud is a superset of Sales Cloud and Service Cloud features customized for financial service firms. Financial Service Cloud integrates sales, service, and marketing capabilities to provide a consistent experience across financial services departments and channels.
• The Lightning Platform provides an open set of APIs to enable integration with other Salesforce and non-Salesforce systems. Pre-built connectors such as Heroku go even further to enable other expedited integration options.
• The Salesforce Platform can be used in several ways.
• As a customer master–
– As an editable or non-editable certified copy of customer master data
– To integrate with a third Master Data Management system
The Salesforce Marketing Cloud (2) is a powerful suite of communication and marketing automation tools designed for interoperability.
• Datorama offers deep marketing analytics.
• Interaction Studio provides real-time interaction management, personalization, and AI-drive recommendations.

Retail Banking Solution Architecture with Connectors
Pre-built Salesforce connectors enable the connectivity that allows the cross-cloud actions required to support sophisticated use cases. These types of use cases include delivering a follow-up email based on customer inquiry about their financial goals.
Marketing Cloud Connect (1) connects Marketing platform products with Sales and Service Cloud products. The connector quickly and easily allows data to sync between these two clouds. It also allows Marketing Cloud products to trigger events such as emails and journeys based on Financial Services Cloud data.
• Automatically sync data from Financial Services Cloud to Marketing Cloud.
• Connect Journey Builder to other clouds.
• Use Financial Services Cloud data to construct highly personalized emails.
• Provide Marketing Cloud email tracking data to Financial Services Cloud.
Distributed Marketing (2) allows individual Financial Services Cloud users, such as financial service representatives, brokers, advisors, or loan officers, to view, personalize, and send on-brand, best practices content through Marketing Cloud.
• Use data stored in contact, lead, or person account records to address emails.
• Craft email to a segment of customers based on a specific filtered list.
• Send email about a campaign to a group of customers based on a touchpoint cadence managed by Marketing Cloud.
Heroku Connect (3) syncs data between the Heroku app platform and the core Salesforce Platform.
• Create a data lake.
• Build, deploy, and run apps inside smart containers within a fully managed runtime environment. Heroku handles critical production elements including configuration, orchestration, loan balancing, failovers, logging, and security.

Solution Architecture for Retail Banking Customer Onboarding Understand key Salesforce architecture for building a customer profile and engaging AI to support customer acquisition.
The process of seeding and growing a customer’s profile flows through four stages as the customer’s connection to the bank expands.
• An anonymous, unknown prospect identified as a single web browser
• A unique prospect identified by a cookie
9
• Fully connected customer with a comprehensively populated customer record
In the initial phase of the customer’s onboarding journey, Marketing Cloud (1) gathers information about the prospect’s expressed interests based on their digital interactions and areas they visit. At this point, the customer can be a known individual or an anonymous, browsing prospect.
Financial Services Cloud (2) incrementally captures more information about the prospect’s needs, interests, and product choices based on their continued interactions. Financial Services Cloud and Marketing Cloud begin building a customer profile based on interaction data, without directly asking the customer for any data.
At the qualified lead stage, Einstein Intelligence (3) continually reviews the customer’s inferred or declared product interests and optimizes the customer’s experience in real time. AI helps in making appropriate suggestions at the right time to move the customer along their purchasing journey.
Banking Solution Architecture for Compliance Scenario Understand key Salesforce architecture that helps retail banks improve their compliance and audit posture.
Harness the built-in compliance framework within Financial Services Cloud (1) to capture, track, report, and manage compliance activities.
Shield (2) provides enhanced audit trails for sensitive data, more logging and monitoring features with longer retention periods, and bring-your-own-key encryption for data at rest.
Mulesoft (3) integrates with and respects the extra controls that Shield and Salesforce Identity provide to further protect the customer and their data.
Experience Cloud (4) connects your digital experiences with your customer data. Integrate data from any source by pulling in data from Salesforce, third-party products, or legacy sources and linking it to Experience Cloud objects. Create tailored experiences by using integrated data to define audiences and target users with personalized content. Keep compliance on track by measuring, analyzing, and optimizing digital experiences with customizable Lightning Experience dashboards in the Experience Workspaces.

Banking Solution Architecture for Compliance ScenarioCustomer 360 Guide for Retail Banking
Identity (5) provides identity and access management (IAM) services. Create cloud-based user directories so user accounts and information are stored and maintained in one place, while making it available to other services or apps. Identify handles authentication services including multi-factor authentication, access management, and authorization for third-party app, app user provisioning, and event logging. Build customizations using API. Identity Connect integrates Microsoft Active Directory (AD) to allow users to access Salesforce without logging in again.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud (6) and Experience Cloud provide the ability to monitor cross-channel touchpoints and capture customer, partner, and employee interactions. Marketing Cloud also provides deeper experience analysis by reporting on a customer’s view and click behavior.
Tableau CRM (7) and Tableau (8) integrate with compliance-related records to assemble, present, and report on required activities.
A wide variety of other partner solutions are available on AppExchange (9) to reduce the amount of internal effort and time required to enhance the level of compliance.
Banking Solution Architecture for Digital Experiences Scenario Understand key Salesforce architecture for supporting digital transformation in the retail banking industry.
Financial Service Cloud (1) provides the foundational platform for digital transformation across the entire customer lifecycle. Data models within Financial Service Cloud enable rapid transformation from traditional to digital channels. Harness and ingest data from any existing digital channel (2), including web, mobile, social, app, text, and chat channels, to reach customers where they are.
Salesforce Knowledge and Experience Cloud (3) enable self-service across various topics so that customers can resolve issues without contacting the bank.
Mulesoft Anypoint Platform (4) allows integrations that optimize the customer’s and the banker’s time by creating reusable, automated flows that seamlessly complete transactions and communicate in real time.
Configure Lightning Platform (5) to send proactive notifications for self-defined or bank-defined events, saving customers time and money.

Banking Solution Architecture for Service Engagements Scenario Understand key Salesforce architecture used to manage and close cases, engage customers with timely communications, and make secure connections with remote systems.
Financial Services Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and Mulesoft work together as a platform from which to transform customer service in the retail banking industry.
Financial Services Cloud (1) provides an engagement layer platform on which to build consolidated, intelligent, and time-saving customer service interfaces. Service agents and managers can resolve many types of issues immediately, leading to higher customer satisfaction and retention. For cases requiring multiple touch points and extended resolution times, having complete information presented in a single view allows for an improved customer experience and faster resolution.
Marketing Cloud (2) includes communication automation capabilities to create and build experience journeys and engagement with a customer before, during and after service interactions. The Marketing Cloud platform creates a smooth customer experience by triggering confirmation messages, follow-up emails, texts, status updates, and in-app notifications.
Mulesoft Anypoint Platform (3) enables rapid creation of APIs to connect servicing systems used across a financial services firm. Mulesoft uses a hierarchical API approach and provides a powerful and dynamic environment to run, maintain, and secure these new APIs from cybersecurity attacks.
